Dave, from the Crown Plaza, came and
picked me up from the Rochester airport in the shuttle.

From one of the pedestrian bridges across
the Genesee River. Really quite pretty at night.

Looking down the river you can see the
rainbow just above the bridges.

Looking up the river to the falls at
Rochester. This would have given the city a lot of energy to be
used in the milling of flower and powering of other machines early in
its history. All they had to do was to divert some of the water
from around the falls and over waterwheels.

In fact, one of the old waterwheels is
still in existance in an historical district near the falls.

Across the river from the historic
district is a brewery company. Note the abandoned railroad
trestle between the brewery and the river.

Here you can see how they built right on
the edge of the cliff. The break in the cliff is overcome by
steel beams that hold up the building above it. This is in the
historic district of High Falls.

The skyline with the "Wings of Victory"
on top of the building on the right and a statue on the building to
the left.

Across the street from the Crown Plaza
was the Wild Side Bar & Grill. They had this very interesting
flower growing among the booths. The blooms only open once for a
very short time, but, it is said, the aroma is wonderful!
